My little boy, Anthony, is now 5.5 months old, and I've tried starting baby food, but he simply doesn't like it! I've tried a variety of veggies and fruits, as well as baby cereal. And of course i have the soft little spoons so it doesn't hurt his gums.
Any suggestions? Is he just not ready yet? I am certainly not ready to wean him yet...he is just so big (17.5), and i want to make sure he is getting everything he needs.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

I am going to be honest. My baby never ate baby food. She would not have it at all. She started eating when she could handle finger food. To this day she likes to feed herself and will not let others feed her. If the baby si growing and develping then it is probably OK to let them move at their own pace.
